There was a knock at the door and instinctively Fiyero and Elphaba hid "you've really got to stop being such cowards" said Glinda going to answer the door. Fiyero and Elphaba exchanged exasperated glances. "Hello" they heard her say (brightly as usual) then her tone changed drastically and they knew something was wrong "go away" she said shakily "you're not welcome here" "we know you're harboring fugitives. Where are they?" Glinda paused saying loudly (a little to loudly not to be suspicious) " there are no fugitives in the Emerald castle"
Fiyero grabbed Elphaba by the arm and led her up the stairs. He went to the closest window and wrenched it open making a loud scraping noise "Jump" he yelled giving up hope at being secretive they stood on the edge of the edge of the windowsill clasping each others hand. Elphaba closed her eyes and jumped just as the guards ran up the stairs.
Elphaba's legs buckled and her ears buzzed. "C'mon" said Fiyero urging her forward. She stumbled damn these shoes she thought. She brushed herself off and got up.
They finally stopped in an ally miles away from the castle. Breath pierced their lungs as they slumped against the cold stone wall. "Ouch" said Elphaba taking off her heels and rubbing her strange feet. She had a scrape on her knee, a ruby blemish on her emerald skin. "I'm going to go up ahead to look for Glinda," said Fiyero kissing her on the forehead and venturing into the street.
Elphaba stared into the darkness tired and sweating. She felt a strange feeling come over her and looked around but it was to dark to see. "Fiyero?" she called into the darkness "no" said a voice "it's not Fiyero"
Fiyero returned to the ally with Glinda twenty minutes later to find that Elphaba wasn't there "Elphie?" he called and then more frantically, "Elphaba?" Glinda called too but it was no use Elphaba was gone.
